i have to tell you guys just how good this forum is, i followed a post on the vine about this loader that is probably less than 50 miles from me so i contacted the fellow to go and have a look and this is what i found.well i explained to the gentleman what would be needed to get this back in operating condition and we agreed on a price of $750.00 which i felt was fair so there you have it, i've got an even better reason to get to work on the lo boy now.

Michael, Maybe you should bring that bucket to the Bash along with the flat steel needed to straighten it out. We will have a welder here (no torches yet) maybe we can help you along, or swap Bob's bucket on to it when he's busy eating cake.

We are still looking for a rep from the great state of Pennsylvania.

It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.- Franklin D. Roosevelt -

Nice buy.

So there is a 1000 club?? I'm in. Even have a substantial fast hitch weight for this one.

larry he had it on a 140 so i'll be looking for some of the things that i'll need to convert to the ih cub, on the vine it was mentioned that he thought that it wouldn't fit a cub. as rjmac mentioned the manual on the server has the instructions on how to install on a 140 or a cub.the bypass block i hope is the one i saw listed with one of our sponsors. barnyard if i thought i wasn't coming to ohio before,this purchase has really narrowed my options. larry i guess i'll be selling the 42 mower i have for the lo boy and be looking at a fast hitch mott mower i'm aware of.i'll also have to be entering into that discussion on installing the fast hitch with the loader if i don't want this to be a one implement tractor. i guess i'm at the right place to get this sorted out

Michael, when I was looking at the manual on installation, it looked that it came set up for the Cub, and if you were going to mount it on the 140, you had to cut a triangular piece out of the front mount for clearance. I may be wrong, but it may just bolt up without any problem.

bob i saw that also, it states that if you have the heavy duty front axle it has to be notched.it looks like he didn't.
